Welp, that's a wrap. Buried Giant Studios has just finished its #GenCon2026 debut. What a wild ride it was. I hardly had time to post during the show, but I wanted to jot something down now. 🧵

Next week we are heading to Gen Con. We've spent months preparing the for the big show in one capacity or another. This is a ton of work with often low returns, but Gen Con isn't just about sales. It's about community and the work of making games together.🧵https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErRzMS2YmAs

What a surreal and heartwarming thing it was to see the unrivalled @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social draw some of MY WEIRDOS from The Old King's Crown. Made my year.

Today we’re posting the prelaunch page for our next game: the second edition of An Infamous Traffic. There is so much to say about this game, and we’ll be talking about it quite a bit in the coming months, but I wanted to provide a little background here. 🧵 www.kickstarter.com/projects/col...

On Oath: New Foundations, we spent a lot of time with the game's core systems and making some structural adjustments both for the sake of the expansion and because we had a unique opportunity to make Oath better. You can learn more about what we did and why in today's video: youtu.be/EZZZi6Y1qM0

It's here! If you've ever found yourself irritated or delighted by expansions or thought about how games grow and change over time, let Amabel guide you with this excellent video.

I'm preparing to head off to Australia for #PLAYCon by moving our Oath kit to a slightly more travel-friendly box. I'll have New Foundations and Infamous Traffic with me. If you're going to be in Sydney next week, I hope I see you there!

I am so honored to share this nomination for Molly House with Jo, Ray, and Ricky whose exceptional work on the game is so deserving of recognition. And, I'm beyond humbled to be in the company of the other nominees (including one of my favorite places in the Twin Cites, Mischief Toys!)

Being a space anarchist has brought plenty of hardships and conflicts, but despite our crushing defeat, we’ve left our mark and had an absolute blast, just like real anarchists #boardgames #juegosdemesa #arcs @colewehrle.bsky.social @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social

Today I played Oath for the first time in 4 years. We used pnp stuff for New Foundations. The owner of this box had players keep a chronicle for their player color so I started the game by reading my family lore dump. I made sure my descendants know to never accept the shame of citizenship as I did.

This past Friday and Saturday, I played a set of six back-to-back sessions of Oath with a pool of 5 players. I lost every game, and I cannot wait to do it again someday.

When you can finally see factory proofs of 3 of your creations together and you realize how moody they all are. @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social @fortcircle.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social
